[0049] The present invention is provided for manufacturing thethree-dimensional composition like the wire fabric composingthree-dimensional structure based on the composition principle of thebraid, utilizing filiform elements 1 having the rigidity like wire forexample, more specifically for manufacturing a three-dimensional 3Xcomposition ST1 shown in a reference mark 11 in FIG. 2A, athree-dimensional 4X composition ST2 shown in a reference mark 12 inFIG. 2B and a three-dimensional 6X-3X composition ST3 shown in areference mark 13 in FIG. 2C as the concrete composition example.

[0050] The three-dimensional 3X composition as shown in the referencemark 11 in FIG. 2A among the abovementioned concrete composition exampleof the manufacturing device for three-dimensional composition accordingto the present invention will be described in detail, with reference toFIG. 1, FIG. 2A, FIGS. 3˜5, FIG. 11 and FIGS. 14 and 15.

[0051] First, the manufacturing device for three-dimensional compositionaccording to the present invention, which composes the three-dimensionalcomposition by the numerous filiform elements pulled out individuallyfrom the numerous bobbins 2 as shown in FIG. 1, has a filiform elementsupply means 3 for supplying the above numerous filiform elements 1individually to a composed position P1, a filiform element distributingmeans 4 for composing the above numerous filiform elements 1 such as toaccept the numerous filiform elements 1 supplied from the above filiformelement supply means 3 by at least three, to interconnect the filiformelements 1 from at least three directions to the composing direction atintervals and to separate to at least three directions and a compositionpulling-up means 5 pulled up the composed composition ST1, ST2 or ST3.

[0052] According to the present invention, the above filiform supplymeans 3 is composed such that, for example, the numerous bobbins 2 aresupported rotatably to a creel stand CS and the above filiform elements1 are respectively pulled out individually from the above numerousbobbins 2. The above filiform element supply means 3, including thetension adjustment mechanism, is arranged to be able to adjust thetension of the filiform elements 1 pulled out from the above bobbin 2accordingly. In the former step to the composed position P1, thetransferring direction of the numerous filiform elements 1 pulled outindividually from the above numerous bobbins 2 are controlled such as totransfer mutually in omitted parallel by a traveling directioncontrolling member TR. The above traveling direction controlling memberTR has the numerous insert holes inserted by the numerous filiformelements 1.

[0053] The above filiform element distributing means 4 is an extremelyimportant component according to the present invention. The concreteembodiment of the above filiform element distributing means 4 will bedescribed in detail with reference to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 11˜15. The abovefiliform element distributing means 4 basically comprises numerousrotors 6 and a filiform element transfer means 7. The above rotor 6 issupported rotatably in the state of holding each other respectively byan interlocking means 8 in a chassis BU.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 14 or FIG. 15, the above rotor 6 is arranged tohave at least three filiform element receiving grooves 9 (the sixfiliform element receiving grooves 9 in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15) around it.The above filiform element receiving groove 9 is composed by threegrooves at intervals of the angle of 120 degrees in the device composingthe 3X composition ST1, and is composed by four grooves at intervals ofthe angle of 90 degrees in the device composing the 4X composition ST2,and is composed by six grooves at intervals of the angle of 60 degreesin the device composing the 6X-3X composition ST3. The filiform elementreceiving groove 9 in the rotor 6 for composing the above 3X compositionST1 may be composed by six grooves at intervals of the angle of 60degrees. In the case, the filiform elements 1 may be applied to supportto three grooves of every one groove in six grooves.

[0055] The interlocking means 8 in the above filiform elementdistributing means 4 is composed by a gear mechanism 10 provided aroundthe above rotor 6, and the concrete embodiment will be shown in FIG. 14and FIG. 15. FIG. 14 illustrates the rotor 6, which shows thecombination example of one unit of said drive means by unitizing thedrive means of said rotor 6. FIG. 14A is a schematic front view showingone composition example that the helical gear system is adopted as thedrive means, and FIG. 14B is the schematic perspective view. FIG. 15illustrates the rotor 6, which shows the combination example of one unitof said drive means by unitizing the drive means of said rotor 6. FIG.15A is a schematic front view showing the composition example that asuper gear basis is adopted as the drive means and FIG. 15B is theschematic perspective view.

[0056] In the drive means seeing three rotors 6A, 6B and 6C as one unit,according to the composition example by a helical gear mechanism 14shown in FIG. 14, a first rotor 6A has a helical gear 14A and a secondrotor 6B has a helical gear 14B and a third rotor 6C has a helical gear14C. According to the example shown in FIG. 14, the first rotor 6A,connecting to the drive source, is the drive rotor rotatingcounterclockwise, which engages to the helical gear 14B of the secondrotor 6B and the helical gear 14C of the third rotor 6C through thehelical gear 14A and makes the above second rotor 6B and the third rotor6C rotate clockwise. The above second rotor 6B and the third rotor 6Care not engaged directly.

[0057] Since the gear mechanism is formed sidling along the bus line ofthe rotor 6 in the composition example by this helical gear system, theabove filiform element receiving groove 9 may be designed as theparallel groove extended along the bus line of the rotor 6. According tothis composition example, the transfer of the filiform element is easyas the groove is straight. On the other hand, the work accuracy isrequired for keeping the gear position (there is an advantage of notgenerating the hollow as the gear base and the pitch circle diameter maybe designed to be accorded).

[0058] According to the composition example by a super gear system 15shown in FIG. 15, the first rotor 6A has a super gear 15A and the secondrotor 6B has a super gear 15B and the third rotor 6C has a super gear15C. According to the example shown in FIG. 15, the first rotor 6A,connecting to the drive source, is the drive rotor rotatingcounterclockwise, which engages to the super gear 15B of the secondrotor 6B and the super gear 15C of the third rotor 6C through the supergear 15A and makes the above second rotor 6B and the third rotor 6Crotate clockwise. The above second rotor 6B and the third rotor 6C arenot engaged directly.

[0059] Since the gear mechanism is formed in parallel along the bus lineof the rotor 6 in the composition example by this super gear system, theabove filiform receiving groove 9 is required to be designed as theslanting groove slanting along the bus line of the rotor 6. According tothis composition example, there is an advantage that the rotor part formaintaining the gear position may cover by slanting the groove.
